You have a Z board and an unlocked CPU so you can run any of them.

Memory Type supported by your board.
DDR4-2133 / 2400 / 2666 / 2800 / 3000 / 3200 / 3300 / 3333 / 3400 / 3466 / 3600 / 3733 / 3866

Non Z boards are locked at 2133\2400 varies by generation.​

Well actually NO.
The RAM will run at max speeds of 2400 without any overclock on CPU. If you push it further, then you can also have higher RAM freq (which actually don't do much).
Just make sure you buy ddr4 and that all sticks match.

I actually had a similar question like this, I've been trying to figure this out as well, I wanted to upgrade my ddr 3, i currently use 32gbs of crucial 1600 balistix sport and wanted to get a set of maybe 32gbs again (my wife been talking about video editing) of 2400 g.skill sniper since they're on sale. The build I have is an AMD 8370 at 4.7 with an asrock fatal1ty 990fx killer. People have said your CPU has to support the higher rate which they say the fx series doesn't support 2400...but the motherboard says it can support 2450 O.C but doesn't mention 2400...would I be fine using the g.Skill ram and be able to get it to 2400?
